maytom Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Enjoying the change in weather of late. Swapped out the snow blower for the lawn mower in my garage, and washed the truck to take advantage of the sunny day. The back lawn already needs to be cut!!! Well, tomorrow will be the first time this year the lawn gets a haircut!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsNbows Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 LOL. Mine gets a weekly haircut most all year long! Oftentimes, during the rapid growth times (summer), it needs cutting every 5 days or it goes crazy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 That reminds me. Instead of going shooting yesterday, I should have been changing the oil and filter, and replacing the blades in the lawn tractor yesterday. I'll need it in the next week to ten days for sure. Guess I'll be working on that after work. And then cleaning guns! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I hate to start, because after I mow the first time I'm the lawn's SLAVE for two or three months.. I'll be mowing mine by the weekend....<<sigh>>..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not mowing yet but was out raking the back yard . We have a couple of sugar locust and a clump white birch . A lot of little dead limbs . I had a head of a headache all day and the raking hasn't helped . Too cheap to hire someone to do it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moho81 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Getting ready to do mine as well. I rolled it monday and tuesday to try and get the bumps out so i can enjoy a beer while riding around but i think the lawn is to far gone for such a simple solution.

GreeneHunter Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I have not started yet but I have 3 lawn mowers and a couple chainsaws and a weed wacker or two to change the oil in before I get going for the summer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I gotta dig out the Scag and sharpen/replace blades, grease, check/change fluids yet....... I flipping hate lawn care!! Once ya get that first cut in its mow mow mow for 6 weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 yea i don't use a roller but probably should with how fast i end up mowing. i have to un-bury the zero turn, change oil, filters, sharpen blades, grease the deck, etc. don't plan on mowing that soon. considering some of it being a field but the wife probably wouldn't let that fly.

BizCT Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I will probably do the first cut Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning before hosting Easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 30 minutes of music piped in under the ear muffs with no kids or wife to bug me. The smell of fresh cut grass and the chance to drink a cold one after as I look at my nice even lawn. The lawn that in a few days will have lost its even cut, but for a day or 2 looks spectacular. getting a chubby just thinking about it. Grounds way to soft and wet for me right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat (minus the rider). I have a push mower (1/2 acre) and take pride in my lawn and landscaping to be better than the neighbors who use landscaping companies to do theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm going to mow in a little while, more to vacuum than cut really. There are billions of sticks out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneam2006 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Damn I'm not looking forward to it at all million other things I'd rather be doing than riding around cutting grass lol...good part is if it don't stop raining every few days I won't be able to mow my lawn till June then I'll have to use a brush hog. Back yard is a swamp right nowSent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 So who here mows a certain way to "stripe" the lawn? I do unless it's really dry.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Not mowing here yet . My front lawn is a mess with some bare spots . I had a lawn service doing the 6 step program for a few years but gave up on them . Neighbors on either side don't do anything and their lawns look better than mine . The worst they have is dandelions . Stopped at Country max and bought 10 3cu ft bags of mulch to spread around . One of the top bags was ripped so the guy gave me that plus the 10 bags .
